Thanks. I'm not sure how I'm doing. I still can't believe she's gone and I still cry at any given time throughout the day. I just want to pick up the phone and call her so bad. We had her phone disconnected the other day and I still dial it. I used to call her at certain times and if I didn't, she'd worry about me, and I just realized that now I have nobody to worry about me.
I haven't been feeling well lately. My back has been hurting and my stomach feels sore, and then I get scared thinking that I have what she had, but I think it's just all from the stress (I hope).
We are keeping busy trying to clean up her house because now the reverse mortgage people are telling me I have 6 months to sell it. I thought it was a year. They said I do have up to a year but I have to prove that I have it listed by 6 months. She never even got to enjoy the money she got from the reverse mortgage either.
It's not easy cleaning up more than 40 years worth of stuff and I just want to keep everything, but I can't.
I still don't know what to do with her cat Penny. Mom wanted us to put her to sleep when she died, but I can't do it. She'll have to come live with us, but where? I have 2 cats and she doesn't get along with other cats, plus she isn't well. She's 12 and has bad glaucoma in one eye for which she has to take pills twice a day, and it's starting in the other. She really misses my mom and cries and cries for her.
